Check out a quick video explaining the mission for Cunningham Pastured Meats! 

Our Mission and Practices 

Cunningham Pastured Meats is a small family ranch in a remote part of eastern Oregon. Our mission at CMP is to provide high-quality grass-fed meats at a price families can afford. After returning to the family ranch in 2010, Sean and I realized that we had the capability to raise meat. It was not only extremely healthy for people but also healed the landscape. Since then, we went from a ranch that strictly raised conventional beef to a ranch that now raises a diversity of animals. We raise pigs, cattle, chicken, and sheep. We used holistic management on the ranch to improve the performance of our animals while increasing organic matter and making the ground more fertile. These management practices help improve the quality of life everywhere on the ranch: from the soil, to the wild life, to the livestock, and our lives. 

Family

We work side by side with family and neighbors and our kids are with us daily. They are learning how to continue to steward the land and animals into the next generation. From our family's ranch to your family's table, we are proud to offer our quality grass-fed meats at a price that your family can afford!
